Sinitta Confirms Ongoing Feud with Gemma Collins on I'm A Celebrity South Africa
The tension between Sinitta and Gemma Collins on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa shows no signs of abating, with Sinitta recently making a shocking statement about their ongoing conflict. The all-stars series, featuring celebrities like Craig Charles, David Haye, and Scarlett Moffatt, has already sparked rifts among the campmates as they compete to become jungle legends.
Gemma Collins' Return and Sinitta's Criticism
Gemma Collins, who lasted less than three days on the show in 2014, has returned for what she calls her "redemption story." While fans have embraced her comeback, singer and actress Sinitta has not shared the same enthusiasm. Viewers have witnessed tense conversations between the pair, particularly regarding Gemma's potential takeover of Sinitta's role as Mama Morton in the touring musical Chicago.
Sinitta previously branded Gemma a "joke" over the casting announcement, and her criticisms have continued beyond that initial remark. The feud escalated when Gemma accused Sinitta of leaking stories to the press about her, according to show insiders.
Accusations and Group Chat Drama
An insider revealed that Gemma dropped a message into the group WhatsApp chat, accusing someone of leaking stories to the press. Before anyone could respond, she pointed the finger at Sinitta, calling her "the rat." This accusation created a massive cloud over the previously jolly group, with some celebrities rallying to Sinitta's defense, feeling the public accusation was unnecessary.
The insider explained, "Poor Sinitta was dumbfounded and incredibly upset at such a scurrilous accusation being made against her—with zero proof." The situation drew comparisons to the Wagatha Christie scandal, leaving the group in disbelief.
Sinitta's Public Response
Sinitta has now spoken out herself, addressing the accusations in a statement to tabloids. She denied being the source of leaked stories, saying, "I've been accused of being the rat who's been selling the WhatsApp stories... the only rat amongst us were those in the jungle." She went further to suggest that Gemma might be suffering "hallucinogenically" from the jungle environment, possibly due to the consumption of animal parts like scrotums.
This public confirmation highlights the deep-seated issues between the two celebrities, with no reconciliation in sight. The feud has added a layer of drama to I'm A Celebrity South Africa, captivating audiences and fueling tabloid headlines.
